OFLC issues Q&As regarding delays in issuing PWD and H1B LCAs

The Office of Foreign labor Certification (OFLC) issued Questions and Answers regarding the delays in issuing Prevailing Wage Determinations (PWD) and H-1B Labor Condition Applications (LCA) on September 12 2011. Reminding employers that they can obtain a prevailing wage on their own without the assistance of the NPWC, OFLC observed that DOL’s regulations provide the employer with alternative sources for obtaining a prevailing wage in support of an H-1B application.

OFLC mentioned that as long as the employer provides a prevailing wage in support of its H-1B application, whether through obtaining a PWD from the NPWC or through the other listed sources, there should not be any consequences to the foreign worker on whose behalf the H-1B application was filed.
